PREFACE. 


This is the Catalogue of Part V of the Print Collection made 
by Mr. Frederic R. Halsey. It embraces nearly a thousand 
engravings in mezzotint by the most famous English artists 
of the eighteenth century. 

William Dickinson’s engravings of Diana Viscountess Cros- 
bie and Elizabeth Countess of Derby, both after the paint- 
ings by Reynolds, are justly celebrated. Earlom’s Flower 
Piece and Fruit Piece are exquisite specimens of the engrav- 
er’s art. Of the mezzotints by Edward Fisher the Lady Sarah 
Bunbury after Reynolds has very high rank. 

Valentine Green is represented by 65 engravings, many 
of them exceedingly desirable. The mezzotint of Georgiana 
Duchess of Devonshire engraved after Reynolds is perhaps 
the most valuable, though the engravings of the Countess of 
Aylesford, Lady Halliday, and the Duchess of Cumberland 
(after Reynolds and Gainsborough) rank very high, as do 
several others. Richard Houston, John Jones, James Mac- 
Ardell, William Pether, and William Say engraved many 
beautiful plates after Zaffany, Romney, Reynolds, Hoppner, 
Lely, Lawrence, and Harlow, and some of their finest produc- 
tions are in the collection. 

George Morland was a painter whose works were engraved 
by many artists in stipple and mezzotint. In this collection 
are thirty-two mezzotints from his paintings, of which the 
most important are those by William Ward, notably The First 
of September—Morning, The First of September—Evening, 
the Farmer’s Stable, and the Last Litter. Catalogued under the 
name of the engraver are more than forty other very desirable 
mezzotints by Ward, of which the most famous is the Vege-- 
table Market after a painting by his brother James. 

Pym is represented by only one print, but it is excessively 
rare—The Stray’d Child—and there is only one by Doughty, 
but this is a very fine early impression of the portrait of Dr. 
Samuel Johnson after the celebrated painting by his friend 
Reynolds. There are nearly seventy mezzotints by Charles 


Turner, of which the best are Louisa Countess of Dysart after 
Hoppner’s portrait and the Marlborough Family after Sir 
Joshua Reynolds. The last of the great mezzotint engravers 
of the English school was Samuel William Reynolds, and he 
is represented by nearly sixty prints, several of which are of 
the highest class. Too much praise cannot be given to his 
engraving of Hoppner’s portrait of the Duchess of Bedford. 
It'is one of the most valuable prints in the Collection. 

One of the greatest of the engravers was John Raphael 
Smith, and more than sixty of his prints are now offered. Of 
these, Mother and Child, Miss Cumberland, and the Claver- 
ing portraits after Romney, Lady Beaumont after Reynolds, 
and Amanthis, Felicia, and the Promenade at Carlisle House, 
after the engraver’s own designs, are remarkably fine. 

James Watson, also an engraver of the highest rank, is well 
represented. The most highly esteemed of his prints are those 
engraved after portraits by Reynolds, and attention should 
be called to the mezzotints of Elizabeth Duchess of Manches- 
ter, Georgiana Viscountess Spencer, and Mrs. Bunbury, and 
particularly to those of Mrs. Hale and Anne Duchess of Cum- 
berland. All of these are extremely important. 

Thomas Watson is another engraver whose work is of great 
beauty and strength. His mezzotints of Mrs. Hardinge and 
Warren Hastings (both after Reynolds) are esteemed very 
highly, and five portraits engraved after Sir Peter Lely— 
Frances Lady Whitmore, Henrietta Countess of Rochester, 
Frances Duchess of Richmond, Elizabeth Countess of North- 
umberland, and Amelia Countess of Ossory—will always be 
famous; they are masterpieces of this form of reproduction. 
The very highest praise must be given to the engraving by 
Thomas Watson of Sir Joshua Reynolds’s portrait of Lady 
Broughton, which is regarded by many connoisseurs as the 
rarest and most valuable of all the English mezzotints. Mr. 
Halsey’s copy is a superb proof before the title. 


This Catalogue was prepared by Mr. Ferdinand Meder and 
Mr. Maurice Sloog.

many of his prints are very pleasing. He worked after Collett and 
other imitators of Hogarth and produced several works designed and 
painted by himself, some of them severely satirizing the style of dresses 
and manners of the period.

a characteristic individuality about his scraping which though difficult 
to express none the less exists; we have richness, brilliance and care; 
and from the successful manner in which he has rendered the many 
substances contained in so wide a range of subjects, we cannot but 
reckon him among the best masters—A. WHITMAN.

and about 14 inch of the engraved surface cut off at 
the sides. 

Companion to No. 161. 

In the Flower and Fruit pieces after Van Huysum we have 
two specimens of his finest plates. The manner in which the 
textures of the different flowers and leaves have been rendered 
is quite remarkable, and the tender treatment and manipula- 
tion of the plate display a master hand of great power and 
delicacy. The dewdrops seem almost to fall from the petals, 
while the fly upon the vase is given with surprising fidelity. 

' And yet there is no feeling of cramped mannerism about the 
plates, but, on the contrary, a good display of free handling, 
and the pieces hang well together.—WHITMAN.

JOHN FABER, JR. 
1684-1756. 


A son, who, after learning his trade from his father, appears to have

letters, as those met with in this state are usually not quite finished. 
His style of engraving improved up to his death; his prints, always 
clear and careful, becoming more bold and finished towards the end.

EDWARD FISHER. 
1730-1785. 


Fisher was at first a hatter, but took to engraving, went to London, 
and became a member of the Incorporated Society of Artists in 17€6. 
His earliest print is dated 1758 and his latest 1781. He learned the art 
of mezzotinto in London and probably from his countryman, MacArdell, 
with whom he is often mentioned and some of whose plates he published. 
It is said that Reynolds called him ‘‘injudiciously exact’’ for finishing 
too highly what this painter considered the unimportant parts of the 
plate, and which were carelessly done in the picture. This appears to 
be rather hypercriticism, and Fisher must be allowed a high place for 
both breadth of treatment and delicacy of finish—Cu. SmirTH.

JAMES MacARDELL. 
1729-1765. 


Born in Dublin, he was a pupil of John Brooks and went with him to 
London about 1747. Soon afterwards he began to practise on his own 
account and about 1754 established himself at the Golden Head, Covent 
Garden, where he published most of his prints. He carried on the art 
from the point to which it had been brought by Faber by adopting bold- 
ness, decision, and freedom of handling without losing either accuracy 
or truth. His talents were highly appreciated by the great painters of — 
his time, especially by Reynolds, who considered that his own fame would 
be preserved by MacArdell’s engravings when the pictures had faded.

JOHN RAPHAEL SMITH. 


1752-1812. 


He was born at Derby, went to London in 1767, and soon entered on 
‘tthe career of an artist. He practised painting extensively and drew with 
great spirit. A very large number of his prints are from his own de- 
signs and pictures. The prints published by him between 1775 and 1787 
are among the most admirable productions ever executed in mezzo- 
tint.—CH. SMITH. 


Among all the engravers the art of mezzotint has produced, J. R. Smith 
is perhaps the most skilful and accomplished. His scraping has all the 
strength and vigor of a man who is complete master of his craft, while 
his training as a painter enabled him to add to his touch the true feeling 
of the artist WHITMAN.
